june 13th

it is so official! exchange surgery date June 13th! i am so excited, 7 weeks from today!

my exchange surgery will hopefully be my final surgery unless revisions are needed later on to fix any problems. my plastic surgeon will use part of the incision from before on both sides, take out the expanders (skin stretchers) and put in my implants. i have heard this surgery is way easier than my first one. i just pray that everyone is right!

yesterday i had my final "fill" i now have 510cc on the right and 525cc on the left. he says the small cc difference wont make a difference. so now i just wait... i really hope the time flys by. my right side hurts really bad right now, i didnt sleep last night. lucky i switched days at work, i was scheduled for today and ended up changing it to tomorrow, i also work friday. 12 hour shifts really sucks after not working for 7 weeks and being in pain. it wasnt too bad last week, i just feel myself getting really stiff after a few hours and i start walking weird. i alternate motrin and tylenol during the day when i am working, they help but, being on my feet often still makes it difficult.

on a 1-10 pain scale i am at about a 10 on my right side. it was filled with 60cc yesterday & when i was attempting to sleep last night i pushed myself up with my right arm and that may have affected it as well :( my left side was only filled with 30, i honestly do not think i am having any pain on that side right now. i am hoping that next week the pain wont be as bad.

I am gonna eat, and take meds and try to get a nap in.
